How to set a column into a variable ?

Hi in my previous report they were using caluclated column, that was used in multiple charts, But performence wise it will take time to show the visual. Now i want to change that caluclated column into measure .

i tried multiple ways but wont work. it showing some errors.

This is the caluclated column .

 

LOB =
VAR PROJ='Wiser Jira Mapping'[Wiser Instance & solution mapping to Jira project]

VAR CAT=CALCULATE(MAX(DimProjects[CATEGORY])
,FILTER(ALL(DimProjects),DimProjects[NAME]=PROJ))

RETURN
IF(CAT=BLANK(),"NA",CAT)
 
Please let me know the solution if you found anything.
Thanks in advance

try like this:

LOB =
VAR PROJ=
        CALCULATE(
                MAX('Wiser Jira Mapping'[Wiser Instance & solution mapping to Jira project]))

VAR CAT=CALCULATE(MAX(DimProjects[CATEGORY])
,FILTER(ALL(DimProjects),DimProjects[NAME]=PROJ))

RETURN
IF(CAT=BLANK(),"NA",CAT)

 

LOB =
VAR PROJ=
        MAX('Wiser Jira Mapping'[Wiser Instance & solution mapping to Jira project])

VAR CAT=CALCULATE(MAX(DimProjects[CATEGORY])
,FILTER(ALL(DimProjects),DimProjects[NAME]=PROJ))

Hi Ahmed,

Its working 
but while iam using in matrix(Rows) it wont take the measure 
how can i set it into matrix in ROws section

Try and see if this works, by only replacing this line (and keep the rest of the measure code)

 

 

VAR PROJ=
        SELECTEDVALUE('Wiser Jira Mapping'[Wiser Instance & solution mapping to Jira project])
